I think the price scheme if good enough, now, everything depends in how they will evaluate the results. I wouldn't count votes, I will count money. For example, 1 $4 vote is 1 vote the same as 1 $20 vote. But, the person who voted was thinking more like, my $20 vote should weight 5 times more than my $4 vote (at least that the way I voted). So, 185 4$ votes is $740, 185 20$ votes is $3700. Which function you thing the voters are more interested in?
